I don't know, a network still has to have limitation opposed on every program they produce. The same standard for that specific time slot. As soon as they give South Park that kind of free reign they lose a lot of negotiating points to other programs. So either they would have to limit the restrictions on a whole or tell South Park they can't. The only network I can see giving South Park free reign like that is HBO and no one wants that!

Ugh, as if they didn't have enough bad shows.

just about any network would do the same, so its not too much leverage. Heck if they didn't already have alot the episode probably would have been pulled. To be fair CC did do this in part to protect Matt and Trey as if the threats were carried out they'd be among the top target. I mean you cant physically attack CC, especially since its just part of a much larger corperation. Only people you can really threaten are those involved in the show and the execs, and their anger would be more directed to those that do the show.

Keep in mind I doubt they'd follow through with their threats, just saying its probably the logic they are using.

I saw that last night. I really hope he keeps those background singers on retainer or something.

Thanks, krogothwolf.
